Great location on Palm Pkwy near Olive Garden, Macaroni Grill, Joe's Crab Shack, and a variety of other restaurants. A decent location but there is a hotel next door that either was never completed or is abandoned and it is a real eyesore. Ask for a room with an EVEN number and you won't have to see it!!! Plus, Priority... more

We were going to DisneyWorld and SeaWorld in late May and looked around for a great deal on a hotel. We spent 6 nights at the HI Express and were very pleased. It had everything that WE needed. We didn't spend much time in our hotel room actually..but when we were there it was nice. Every night we came "home"... more

The hotel itself is located at a key intersection in Orlando: 535 and Palm Pkwy. This is one of the safer parts of Orlando, and it's just a stone's throw away from Disney. I took advantage of HI Express's complimentary breakfast and Disney shuttles, and both were very useful. The morning shuttle leaves at three times in the morning and... more

We stayed here for one night before transferring to our Disney Hotel in May '09. I do not really have any complaints about our stay. We had a 2 queen bed room which was very comfortable & clean. The bathroom was showing it's age definitely, but was not dirty. From our balcony, we could see the Disney fireworks which was... more

Stayed for for three nights last week. Like it! Nice pool (a little too warm) good breakfast. Very close to downtown Disney. Rooms are big, AC is a little hard to manage. Overall, good value for the money. more

We stayed for 6 nights from 4/11-4/17… CONS - Elevator: OMG these damn things were so slow!#$%& We easily wasted a ½-to-1 hour of our six day stay here waiting on the elevators. I think I read it in a prev post. Newsflash: it’s TRUE!  - Bathroom: 1) Ridiculously tiny; the door barely misses the commode. 2) Outdated and... more

Originally I had booked a hotel by Universal Studios. 4 days before departure I realized our trip was turning into a Disney park vacation and decided we needed to be closer to WDW. The HI Express was one of the few hotels available (we were travelling over Easter) that had two queen beds; a must for our family. The AAA... more

We discovered this hotel the a few years ago when we were staying @ Downtown Disney - only a two minute drive away - and decided to try it because the Easter week promo price was right (99./night). The pool and free breakfast were also appealing. We arrived before check-in time, they let us keep our luggage in the front... more

We stayed here for a week in May, 2008 while we were going to Disney Parks, etc. I thought the value at this hotel was incredible. We paid $79/night for a King room. The room was very clean & the bed was really comfortable. We also enjoyed our balcony which faced towards the disney parks. At night you could see... more
